(7) 1-Naphthylacetylglutamine was formed only by the cynomolgus, squirrel and capuchin monkeys and marmoset, and in no case accounted for more than 3% dose.
(8) The ultrastructural morphology of the initial stages of implantation in the marmoset monkey (Callithrix jacchus) was studied in pregnant monkeys at known time intervals after ovulation.
(9) Five common marmosets (Callithrix jacchus) received unilateral ibotenic acid lesions of the basal nucleus of Meynert (nBM).
(10) In contrast, marked dissimilarities were evident in the complements of low molecular weight, tetramethylurea-soluble polypeptides of marmoset and human lipoproteins.
(11) Unlike in previous experiments in which Thd was administered to marmoset monkeys, no effect could be seen in cells bearing the CD2 (LFA-2) epitope.
(12) Compounds 12m, 12o and 12q were potent inhibitors of partially purified human renin (IC50 values 1.7, 6.8, and 3.7 nM, respectively), and also effectively lowered blood pressure in anesthetized, sodium depleted marmosets following intravenous administration.

(15) Four marmosets not exposed to the virus, of which 2 received immunosuppressive drugs, have not developed tumors, nor EBV antibodies.
(16) The uptake of chylomicrons by the non-human primate (the marmoset), in association with the observation that triglyceride-rich lipoproteins accumulate in bone marrow macrophages in patients with type I, III, or V hyperlipoproteinemia, suggests that in humans the bone marrow may clear chylomicrons from the circulation.
(17) Histamine, which was chemotactic in vitro, did not lead to appreciable eosinophil accumulation in vivo, and combinations of histamine and the acidic tetrapeptides evoked little or no cutaneous eosinophil infiltration either in man or the marmoset.

Definition:
